During MAFED students must carry out a field project in a company, which represents the operative application of what they have studied in classroom.
In-company group projects cover several corporate aspects and functions (brand positioning, pricing, entry into new markets etc.). A Master Professor and a company executive supervise the group work. Teams of 2 to 5 participants spend 8 weeks on each project. A formal presentation of the final results must be drafted for the company, along with a full report.
Through field projects, companies offer participants the opportunity to tackle real life, concrete business problems and put into practice what was learned in the classroom, combining theoretical background and managerial practices.
In exchange, companies obtain:
- innovative solutions to complex problems;
- a qualified and motivated project team which operates with technical/ managerial methodologies the validity of which is guaranteed by the MAFED program and by the project tutors;
- 4 months of intensive work (in the period from June to November alternating with classes);
- the opportunity to evaluate MAFED participants in the field, for job placement.
